How many people lower the toilet seat lid before flushing? One in 5,000? Yet I’m not aware of flushing-without-lowering ever being associated with the spread of disease. I’d go into more detail about the idiocy of this woman’s idea, but the rules of TMI prevent me from doing so.
Having read years ago about "flushing plumes", I immediately adopted the practice of never flushing without closing the lid. Think about people whose toothbrushes are hanging out in their holders on the wall, a couple feet from the toilet. Ick.
I do, only after watching a blacklight video of ‘fecal plume’. Well, when I remember to.

In my day, VD were the only diseases caught
from a toilet seat.
“Yet I’m not aware of flushing-without-lowering ever being associated with the spread of disease.”
“Mythbusters” did a segment about this a few years ago. If you can watch it, you’ll NEVER flush without closing the lid — if there’s a lid to be closed. And you’ll relocate your toothbrush behind a cabinet door, 20 feet away from the commode. The ecoli crud that flew through the air after a flush — ugh.
